Chapter 149 Clever Ghost

What Xue Dan said was too straightforward, and no one in the room could tell that he wanted to dismiss him. At this moment, Guanshi Cao didn't care about his face, so he knelt down with a plop, raised his head, and narrowed his eyes. With tears streaming down her face, she propped herself up on the ground and begged: "Madam calm down... Madam... this old slave has been working in this mansion for more than ten years, and I dare not say that I will not do my best. This old slave... I really dare not bully my young lady." ..."

"You're here to cry and cry."

Guanshi Cao has a wicked face, and usually looks very ugly, but when he cried this time, his face became more disgusting, Xue Dan looked at it with disgust, and said: "Don't think that us masters don't know, You slaves, relying on people's power, you can do one thing in front of your face and another in your back. Now you are afraid, and you don't dare to insult each other. You may be domineering behind your back. The eldest daughter-in-law has been married for less than half a year, and you are relying on the absence of that boy Xingchuan , oppressing the new master, dog, I would be annoyed even to look at you more than once."

Cao Guanshi cried even more when he heard this, and he took two steps forward, which was considered regretful.

"Forget it, sister, you are too aggressive."

Xue Huaishi watched from the side, and said with some helplessness: "It's been so many years, can you change your temper, I think Jiang Yi is too indulgent with you."

Xue Dan turned sideways and said coldly: "If you say that, I don't care. Anyway, this old thing is not bullying my daughter-in-law Xue Dan."

"Okay, after all, Guanshi Cao has been working in the family for more than ten years, and he has worked hard without credit. Besides, Ming Wei didn't think well about today's matter, and Guanshi Cao is too strict." Madam Xue finally spoke. He said softly, "It's a good thing for a family to have a loyal servant like Cao Guanshi. If you can increase income and reduce expenditure, save as much as you can."

Li Su glanced at her, Cao Guanshi didn't expect Mrs. Xue to plead for him, he took the opportunity to say: "The old slave will follow the arrangements of the young lady in the future."

Xue Dan was so angry when he saw that the two were good people and he became a villain, Li Su hurriedly said with a smile: "The back kitchen has prepared my wife's favorite mutton soup, it must be ready by now, if it is cold If it's too fishy, ​​it won't taste good, so I'll take my wife there."

Xue Dan had no choice but to get off the donkey and follow him out.

Xue Huaishi was unwilling to manage internal affairs at first, so he told Cao Guanshi a few words.

"No matter how much you increase income and reduce expenditure, you still need to spend what should be spent. The Tibetan Pearl Courtyard is rewarded by saints, and we must pay attention to it. It is worthy of the emperor's grace. Didn't Xingchuan leave a blueprint before he went to Huaizhou? According to his idea, it doesn't matter if it's 3000 taels or 5000 taels, just give it to Ming Wei." He said.

Guanshi Cao breathed a sigh of relief, and said a few more words of apology to Lin Zhao, his eyes widened, and finally got Lin Zhao's response.

"I am thoughtful and thoughtful in handling things. I am reckless and incompetent. I ask my father-in-law to blame me."

Lin Zhao threw the conversation into Xue Huaishi's hands, he was stunned for a moment, and smiled: "You child, come and talk to your mother, or tell me if you have anything to do, why bother yourself, these dowries are all for you When I was in my natal family, my mother-in-law carefully selected them, so it would be a pity to become one, and people would look down on them."

Lin Zhaodao: "Ming Wei will definitely be cautious in everything in the future."

"It's good that you have this kind of heart. It's also because I didn't think about it properly. For such a big Xue Mansion, Lao Cao, who has been in charge for more than ten years, can't do it. Let alone you, a child who is half a year old."

As Xue Huaishi was speaking, Cao Guanshi's eyes suddenly became bright, and at the critical moment, he heard Mrs. Xue say: "You are 16 years old, what kind of children are you? Since you are already a wife, you are a clan wife. Even if you study hard, you have to be proficient in these housekeeping tasks." , otherwise how can it be worthy of the heavy responsibility."

"Look at you."

Xue Huaishi stared at Mrs. Xue reproachfully, and then asked Guanshi Cao to leave together. Lin Zhao watched them leave the yard, the grievance on his face was like floating water under the scorching sun, slowly evaporating, and turned his head away. Seeing the suppressed smile on Mrs. Xue's face, the man couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Lin Zhao didn't speak, and smiled secretly.

"You girl is so courageous, you are very clever, you actually came up with such a bad idea." Mrs. Xue seemed to be in a good mood, she sat down, and asked Lin Zhao to sit down as well, and said, "You are also smart, I found the most upright member of our family to handle the lawsuit, but you also saw it just now, if your father-in-law really finds it troublesome and doesn't ask you to be a housekeeper, what will you do?"

Lin Zhao sat upright, his back seemed to be loose in the wind: "I know my mother won't just sit idly by."

Mrs. Xue had a half-smile, she was more relieved by Lin Zhao's appropriateness in her heart, she didn't want to nag, she used her years and experience to teach her human temper, and said, "You ghost." She stretched out her hand Slowly squeezed his earlobe, "It seems that Kong Setang will not dare to underestimate you in the future."

"I'm not afraid." Lin Zhao said solemnly, "I'm just doing what I'm supposed to do."

"Haha."

Madam Xue chuckled again, and then said seriously: "I forgot to tell you, there is news from the palace."

Hearing this, Lin Zhao's clear eyes became more serious, straightened his body, and asked, "Is it about Lingping Road?"

Seeing how caring she was, Mrs. Xue pursed her lips knowingly. It seems that Lin Zhao went to Huaizhou last time and met Xue Dao. The state is very chaotic, the crown prince and Han Lishan are one thing to deal with the disaster, and another thing to wipe out the bandits. The crown prince has been pampered for many years, and Han Lishan is a literary man, but he is also powerless. The saint has appointed King Huai to move troops nearby. Tell Chen Wu to join Xing Chuan, don't worry."

After Lin Zhao heard this, a little complicated flashed across his white face, and he lowered his head.

"What? Are you worried?" Mrs. Xue squinted her eyes and asked her briskly.

Lin Zhao didn't know how to answer, but facing her mother-in-law, she just nodded and said, "Yes."

Mrs. Xue smiled with satisfaction: "I'm not worried, what are you worried about, if Xingchuan can't even wipe out a group of mobs, he can't be considered my son."

"That's what I said, but those mountain bandits used to be good citizens, but they were forced to go to the mountains to become bandits because of the burden of the situation." Lin Zhao hesitated.

"A bandit is a bandit, even if he was a citizen in the past, he can't be forgiven lightly."

Mrs. Xue's attitude is stern and selfless, but it is also the same reason, the law is selfless and cannot be tolerated.

"I heard you went to take the exam yesterday?" Mrs. Xue said, "I'm interested."

"It should." Lin Zhao said softly.

"I don't want to send it."

Mrs. Xue said frankly: "That brat Xue Ding didn't get any good grades in the exam, so I gave it away with a lot of fanfare. When the time comes, he won't be named in the third list. I can't afford to lose this person."

Lin Zhao laughed, took the tea offered by Li Su and drank it, then resigned.

"Go back and have a good rest. I'm afraid that once this happens, I'll be busy in the future."

Mrs. Xue's meaningful instructions, Lin Zhao understood that this incident was completely offended Aunt Lian. This person has been hiding in the dark and never confronted him directly. After thinking about it, he said: "I know."
